    We had the pleasure of meeting our waiter, Daniel, who was real attentive, engaging and answered our questions. The food was remarkably delicious especially the oysters and the egg pasta made purely with black truffle. Highly recommend this place right in Clearwater!

    This was our first visit. We wanted to see our favorite server Daniel from a previous restaurant. We were with another couple celebrating the ladies birthday. Everything was great. The food was amazing, the wine Daniel suggested was great and the service was awesome. Another server, Oscar, helped out and he was a very nice guy. We will be back.

    Don’t let the lack of curb appeal fool you. Inside Valentino is like walking into an elegant well designed Instagram worthy restaurant which could be in any big city. The front desk sat us quickly and the ambiance was perfect we had cocktails and glasses of Champagne to get started then delish homemade bread came to the table. Delish!!! Like you would get in Italy. Appetizers we had calamari and bruschetta — not a crumb was left the calamari was lightly battered so fresh and delish. Main courses we had the filet, soft buttery cooked to perfection and the fettuccine bolognese… the ragu was perfect the homemade pasta was light and airy — My husband had the veal osso bucco it was cooked with love and long time just feel off the bone — line somehring your Italian grandmom would start cooking at 7am on a Sunday morning. To die for. We had more cocktails and took desert home. If you want authentic Italian that is homemade not over salted over oiled and over sized — check it out!!!

    Our family of 8 had Easter dinner at Valentino Ristorante Italiano, and there aren’t enough superlatives to describe how fantastic our dinner was from start to finish! My son and his family live in the NY/NJ metropolitan area where there are an abundance of Italian restaurants, and he said it was the finest and best Italian food he’s ever had. My husband and I have toured Italy, and the food at Valentino is exactly like the food we had in Italy. Chef Ciro Mancini uses only the finest ingredients and is a culinary genius! The decor is gorgeous and the wait staff is top notch. Don’t hesitate, go, and you won’t be disappointed.
